Archeologists have discovered a tomb that pre-dates the traditional date of the founding of Rome by at least 300 years. For a video of artifacts found go to the BBC homepage. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10944806/ - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10944806/ ------------- The beginning of a revolution is in reality the end of a belief - Le Bon Destroy first and construction will look after itself - Mao |

People have probably lived there for thousands of years before Romulus and Remus. But if it is an actual necropolis, then that would suggest there was a prior civilization or we are just wrong on our dates, right? ------------- The sharpest spoon in the drawer. |

Yes according to the finds it seems to be a necropolis and much larger than what they already exscavated. The Remus and Romulus is just legend as most of Roman history before its sack by the Gauls around 390BC.
